How can the president overcome the problems that divided government pose?

One of the problems with divided government is that officials from opposing parties resist approval of the appointment of officials from the opposite party. One way for the President to overcome this is to keep the number of officials from each party balanced, so they are even. Let's look at that answer shall we? Opposing parties were also elected into government. It is this two party system that prevents the total government from being over run by special interest groups like we are seeing now. Soto-Mayer will get through her vetting, that is pretty much a given, but let's look at real issues. We now have a group of Czars running the country with no oversight or anyone to answer to. Thirty two of them. The science czar, at one time, proposed putting steralents into our drinking water. He has stated publicly that we should lower our overall living standard and GDP. No oversight! We have a health care bill about to go through that mandates everyone EXCEPT the politicians and the UAW to public health care. Page 16 states we cannot cobra or carry our present health care past our present employer! Wouldn't gridlock here help the 94% of us that have health care? Most of the remaining 6% do have Medicaid by the way) The President can always overcome gridlock by doing what is right for the masses rather then the UAW or other special interest groups. The problem is that when they don't gridlock is the only way for the minority to defend us. The Democrats have used this gridlock many times also. When the President is doing bad things to us, it is the minorities duty to stop the evil, no matter who is doing wrong!
